Dear Modelers and Train Fans, while at the Hartford NMRA show last week, we stumbled across a booth operated by Auran Software. Auran publishes the highly successful train software program called Trainz Simulator. They were displaying their latest version "World Builder 2009".

We played it. It was fantastic and lots of fun. We recommend it. Here are the details. It will make a great gift for anyone in your house that loves to run trains (virtually).
